Place an individual wrapper on a board and place 2 teaspoons of mixture into the centre of the wrapper.

Place 2 cups of water in the 28cm Bessemer Dutch oven. Rub a little oil in the base of the steamer and then place the steamer insert on top of the Dutch oven. Place dumplings in the steamer, place the lid on and allow water to boil and steam dumplings. Allow 10-15 minutes cooking time.
